Baseball is defined by numbers. They are associated with every aspect of the game. Innings. Outs. Hits. Runs. Errors.

And individual statistics. The raw data don’t lie. And in Jovan Hernandez’s case they tell the whole story, capturing the essence of his amazing season. The Rockwall-Heath sophomore third baseman batted .514 with 11 home runs and 64 RBIs. His hitting streak, which is still alive, has stretched to 41 games â€“ one shy of the state record established by Orangefield’s Jeff Granger.
